There is great interest in the visit of Rotary International President Sakuji Tanaka May 10 and 11.  And for good reason, never have we had the honour of hosting a standing R.I.President in District 5370. 

There are three opportunties to spend time with our International President.

Million Dollar Dinner - a fundraiser for the Rotary Foundation Saturday, May 11 in Sherwood Park.  We have sent invitations to new Bequest Society members.  We have also sent invitations to Paul Harris Society members and Major Donors as a way to thank them for their support.   You can be there, too by joining the Bequest Society,  it's a few easy steps.    Take these steps, support the Foundation (heck it's part of your will so you don't even have to pay now) and join us.

Rotary Day, Saturday AM May 11, Old Fort Edmonton Park.   A free BBQ (Thanks, Driving Force!).  If able help us spend a bit of time at a spring clean up before the BBQ, if President Tanaka can pitch in, I can, too!    (The President is known for a local "clean the streets" inititiative he enjoys in Japan.  See his video on the mentioned link)  Bring family, a friend or potential Rotarian!   Details:  http://serviceaboveself.ca/rotary-day/edmonton-area/
